Council on Criminal Justice and Behavioral Health (CCJBH)

The Council on Criminal Justice and Behavioral Health (CCJBH) is a California state organization focused on improving the lives of individuals with mental health and substance use disorders who are involved in the criminal justice system. CCJBH aims to reduce recidivism rates by promoting diversion, treatment, and appropriate housing for justice-involved individuals with mental health and/or substance use disorders. The Council also supports research and data analysis to better understand the impact of mental health and substance use on the criminal justice system, and provides training and education to justice system stakeholders, treatment providers, and communities to improve the coordination of services for individuals with mental health and substance use disorders.
